Ecuador

THE FACILITATOR [El facilitador]

Hard-partying Elena reluctantly returns to Quito after her wealthy father falls ill, but after a run-in with the law, the old man sends her to the country to get her act together. There, she reunites with childhood friend Galo, an organizer who promotes water access rights for the indigenous community. Inspired, Elena joins Galo's cause, with a sense of purpose that helps her regain control over her life. But when a family secret comes to light, it threatens to send Elena spiraling back into self-destruction. A powerful sociopolitical thriller from Víctor Arregui (MY TIME WILL COME, 2008 AFI Latin American Film Festival).
